This medicated healing balm is a great gift for anyone. My son, Daniel, and I developed this unique formula to treat and heal insect bites, poison ivy, dry skin, chapped lips, psoriasis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis and other common skin concerns. The hydrocortisone has chemical properties that go beyond moisturizing to relieve itching and heal the skin. Additionally, a special combination of waxes allows the balm to remain solid even when warm so it won’t melt. These newly patented balms come in vanilla or unscented varieties and they are available in three convenient sizes for the face, lips and body.

I also worked to develop LovelySkin’s signature line. The daily skin care package is the perfect gift for moms, dads or grads. These four full-size products contain amino fruit acids at a very low pH level, which allows for better exfoliation. Other key ingredients include vitamin C, which provides antioxidant benefits, and Dead Sea minerals, which help promote cell turnover for healthier, younger-looking skin. With regular use, this kit improves the appearance of acne, rosacea, sun damage, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, rough texture and enlarged pores.
